Photospheric Swirls in a Quiet-Sun Region

The Astrophysical Journal
Swirl-shaped flow structures have been observed throughout the solar atmosphere, in both emission and absorption, at different altitudes and locations, and are believed to be associated with magnetic structures. However, the distribution patterns of such

Solar Magnetized "Tornadoes": Relation to Filaments

, 2012
Solar magnetized "tornadoes", a phenomenon discovered in the solar atmosphere, appear as tornado-like structures in the corona but root in the photosphere.

Dynamic Coupling of Convective Flows and Magnetic Field during Flux Emergence [PDF]

, 2011
We simulate the buoyant rise of a magnetic flux rope from the solar convection zone into the corona to better understand the energetic coupling of the solar interior to the corona. The magnetohydrodynamic model addresses the physics of radiative cooling,

Models of the Solar Photosphere [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1990
This review summarizes the main properties of the available theoretical models of the solar photosphere and the semiempirical models based primarily on observed spectra in different wavelength regions. LTE and non-LTE semiempirical models are compared with LTE and non-LTE theoretical (radiative equilibrium) models calculated with and without convective

Periodic Density Structures Observed in Ulysses Data: First Results

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Periodic density structures (PDSs) are advecting quasi‐periodic (periodicities between several minutes and several hours) density enhancements observed in the solar wind and corona. There is strong evidence that PDSs are formed at the Sun.

Derivation and Application of a Scaling between Hinode/SP and SDO/HMI Vector Magnetic Fields to Improve Magnetic Field Extrapolations

The Astrophysical Journal
Full-disk measurements of the solar magnetic field by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) are often used for magnetic field extrapolations, but its limited spatial and spectral resolution can lead to significant errors.

Limitations and Biases in the Retrieval of the Polar Magnetic Field. I. The Role of the Magnetic Filling Factor in Milne–Eddington Inversions of Simulated Hinode/SP Data

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We study the extent to which Milne–Eddington inversions are able to retrieve and characterize the magnetic landscape of the solar poles from observations by the spectropolarimeter on board Hinode.

Connecting the Sun and the Solar Wind: The First 2.5 Dimensional Self-consistent MHD Simulation under the Alfv\'en Wave Scenario

, 2012
The solar wind emanates from the hot and tenuous solar corona. Earlier studies using 1.5 dimensional simulations show that Alfv\'{e}n waves generated in the photosphere play an important role in coronal heating through the process of non-linear mode ...

Helioseismic analysis of the solar flare-induced sunquake of 2005 January 15 [PDF]

, 2006
We report the discovery of one of the most powerful sunquakes detected to date, produced by an X1.2-class solar flare in active region 10720 on 2005 January 15.

On the Freeze‐In Distance of Solar Wind Fluid Entropy Variability in the Corona

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The strong correlation between solar wind entropy and the frozen‐in ion charge state ratio O7+/O6+ ${\mathrm{O}}^{7+}/{\mathrm{O}}^{6+}$ indicates that entropy variability on timescales of hours or longer is preserved from its solar source. This prompts the question: where in the solar atmosphere does this entropy variability come from, and at
